1.2.2_17

‘‘Gamanāgamanampi dissati,
Vaṇṇadhātu ubhayattha vīthiyā;
Peto kālakato na dissati,
Ko nidha kandataṃ bālyataro’’ti. (vi. va. 1212; pe. va. 191);

They are seen that go and come;
The property of color is seen on both sides of the street;
But he that is dead and gone cannot be seen;
Which of us that weep here is the greater simpleton?
